Alex Apostolidis's questions to DUFRY leadership

Question · Q2 2022

Alex Apostolidis from Barings inquired about revenue per passenger in H1 2022 versus H1 2019, the impact of 2,500 staff vacancies on personnel costs, the reason for higher 'other expenses' versus 2019, and the strategy for refinancing upcoming debt maturities.

Answer

CEO Xavier Rossinyol noted that spend per head was ahead of 2019 but influenced by a different passenger mix, and that personnel inflation is being mitigated by initiatives like self-checkout. CFO Yves Gerster explained the debt refinancing approach will be holistic, considering market conditions and the Autogrill deal timing. The question regarding 'other expenses' was not directly addressed.

Question · Q4 2021

Alexandros Apostolidis of Barings inquired about wage inflation trends in Europe, following up on the comments about North America, and asked about the level of inflation being seen in the cost of goods sold.

Answer

CFO Yves Gerster acknowledged labor cost increases in several countries but noted the impact is often mitigated by currency effects. For cost of goods sold, he stated that while suppliers have requested increases, these have been assimilated via pricing strategy, and the gross profit margin has not been materially impacted and is not expected to be in 2022.
